Appearances can be deceiving and in this case clearly demonstrate your flawed assumption. Your criteria for "Well Documented" leaves much to be desired and attests to an untrained eye in judging intellectual matters .

Once again it is not sufficient to just include these Church Fathers , one must have the requisite educational skills to interpret these sources which takes rigorous scholastic skills The sources quoted in these threads by your type come from bible schools whose academic standards have been found wanting. Your ilk on this forum merely cut and paste sources from questionable scholastic sources, invariably presented out of context.

I have read enough of these second rate agenda driven sites on the Internet and their published works, to understand their intellectual and spiritual bankruptcy.

You need to immerse yourself in the study of biblical linguists and spend years under scholars to effect an intellectual level which allows for proper discernment. Attending and/or relying on some bible college does not meet this rigorous standard.

As an alternative to in depth study , you need to read objective history which is found in libraries, not some amateur Internet site which purports to present scholarly materials.

Attending a community college would be a start at honing interpretative skills and exposing yourself to scholarly materials to discern fact from fiction, a feat apparently found lacking in your response.

God Bless

Wow, you sound very smart. Years and decades immersing yourself, gaining requisite educational skills to interpret sources which takes rigorous scholastic skills, complete with biblical linguists , years under scholars in order to effect an intellectual level for proper discernment, along with mere objective history which comes from libraries. So you can discern fact from fiction, according to scholarly materials.

What is the gospel of your salvation?

People wonder if God is trying to tell us something these days. There have been fires, floods, tornadoes, bad hurricanes, bad tropical storms, bad thunderstorms, not to mention earthquakes, volcanoes, financial collapse, wars, terrorism, nuclear disasters, comets, maybe even planet X. Is God saying something? Yes. He is telling us everything we put our trust in this world of ours will fail. He is preparing us for a time similar to the world wide flood of Noah’s day. He is giving us all an ark to climb into. That ark is found through Faith in The Lord Jesus Christ. This security IN Christ will not fail! God’s word says so! God keeps his promises! So if any of us find any need during these times, instead of relying on our own strength which will fail, seek God’s will first. Joy, peace, fearlessness and no worries are possible.

That appears to me to be egotistical bunk and a superiority complex. You totally discount the Holy Spirit. All too often a formal education only tends to indoctrinate to the views and biases of the instruction or organization.
